Mr. Sinus Theater 3000 presents THE KARATE KID July 29, 2004

"Sweep the leg, Johnny! Sweep the leg!"

After numerous requests, Owen, John, and Jerm of Mr. Sinus agreed to take on the 1980s coming-of-age classic The Karate Kid. You'll recognize the setup: the new kid in town is having trouble fitting in. Does he turn the town upside-down with dancing? No. Does he befriend an outer space alien? No. But he does learn the ancient art of Karate by performing a series of household chores for an aging Asian janitor. This movie birthed the Karate craze that swept the nation in the mid 1980s. It also put Ralph Macchio on the map...and left him there. Put on your robe, tie on that black belt, and come join the Sinus boys as we journey back to a simpler decade when teenage angst could be mellowed by learning to "Wax On, Wax Off."
